Games with /r/HobbyDrama posts
/r/HobbyDrama is my favorite subreddit for reading about high-quality, well-researched writeups on various hobby controversies. Naturally, there's a lot of video game writeups too because gamers are like that. This list is by no means exhaustive and is still a work in progress, and you can suggest any posts you like that aren't included in the comments. Heed the content warnings on the posts, some of these are pretty NSFW and dark.
If you want a recommendation, I recommend the Creatures or the Skyrim mod writeup.

Hey, I ended up neglecting this list for over half a year because I realized I would need to reformat this list quite a bit to keep updating it without it becoming a huge pain and I just procrastinated on that... anyways I'm updating the posts slowly by adding proper hyperlinks, fixing broken links, reorganizing the way posts are listed, and moving around games in the internal listing order so it'll be easier for me to locate them while editing. Might be a bit so there may be some inconsistency between notes for different games for the time being.
Anyway, added some posts for the following games, will be trying to add more later in the week:
-Arknights
-Fortnite
-Microsoft Flight Simulator
-Microsoft Flight Simulator X
-Persona 5
-Platform Racing 2
-Sound Voltex
-Splatoon
-Splatoon 2
-Super Smash Bros Melee
-Toontown Online
-Trackmania
-Witch's Heart
-World of Warcraft: Cataclysm
-X-Plane 11
If any links are broken or you want me to add a post that isn't listed, feel free to comment.

Looks like unddit doesn't work properly. Checked Skyrim's vore one and it shows an empty page. The original reddit page seems to still be there tho. Don't know to what extent the other links are affected, you might want to look into it.
